Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 24, 1914.

Application filed May 6, 1911. Serial No. 625,492.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. SHELDON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Brackets for Shower-Bath Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in brackets for holding suspended rubber tubes such as are usually employed with shower bzltth attachments, fountain syringes and the li re.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a bracket to be secured to a wall or other suitable support and having a curved body portion concaved longitudinally on one face thereof, such concaved surface forming a bearing for the hose or rubber tube, whereby the latter may be supported from its medial portion and in position to drain without the danger of kinks being formed therein.

With these and other objects in View, which will more fully hereinafter appear, the present invention consists in certain novel details of construction and arrange ment of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details of the device may be made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a device constructed in accordance with my present invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a single length of wire of any suitable or desired length. The medial portion of this wire is bent to provide a plurality of loops 21 of equal length. The looped portion 21 may be of any length desired and the adjacent sides of the loops hear one upon the other. This looped portion is bent into arcuate outline or shape as clearly illustrated in the drawing and the opposite end portions of the wire at the extremities of the looped portion are directed laterally to a point beyond one side of the looped portion and then are curved or bent upon themselves to provide eyes 22, the eyes terminating in bent portions 23, directed away from the looped portion 21 and at substantially right angles to the end loops. The bent portions 23 are adapted to bear on a wall or other suitable support while the eyes 22 receive screws 26 or other suitable fastening means. In the application of the device, the looped portion 21 is spaced apart from the adjacent face of the wall or other structure and nicely receives the tube, permitting the opposite ends of the latter to depend vertically so that the formation of permanent kinks in the tube will be avoided.

I claim 1. A bat-h room accessory consisting of a bracket formed from a single strain of wire having its medial portion bent to provide a plurality of loops, said loops being disposed in a transverse plane and bent to an arcuate shape, said wire having its opposite terminals directed laterally to a point beyond the said loops, said terminals being thence curved to provide eyes for the reception of securing means,

2. A bath room accessory consisting of a bracket formed from a single strand of wire having its medial portion bent to provide a plurality of transversely disposed loops, said loops being bent to an arcuate shape, said wire having its opposite ends directed laterally to a point beyond the said loops, the said opposite end portions being thence curved to provide eyes for the reception of securing means, said eyes terminating in bent portions, said bent portions extending away from said loops and substantially at right angles to the opposite end loops.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
